RA Prosecutor General`s Office sends bill of indictment against  Armenian Catholicos` relatives to court 

ArmInfo. The criminal case materials against the brother and nephew of Catholicos of All Armenians Garegin II have been sent to court, the Prosecutor General's Office reports.

It is noted that on November 17, 2025, the prosecutor submitted to  the court the materials of the criminal case against G.N. and A.N.  (the brother and nephew of Catholicos of All Armenians Garegin II -  Gevorg and Hambardzum Nersisyan - ed.), who obstructed the  pre-planned election campaign of representatives of the Republic  party participating in the local government elections of the enlarged  Vagharshapat community in the Armavir region on November 16, 2025. 

At around 2:00 PM, A.N., a resident of Grigor Lusavorich Street in  the village of Voskehat, met G.Kh. near his home and learned that he  was conducting pre-election campaigning, distributing campaign  printed materials about the Republic Party. A.N. also learned that  the candidate from the aforementioned party, Kh.M. A.N., intending to  disrupt the campaign, used obscene language, demanding that G.Kh.  leave, noting that the Republic Party candidate, H.M., would not be  entering the village of Voskehat.

At this time, A.N.'s father, G.N., overheard the conversation between  G.Kh. and his son, approached them, and began shouting curses and  obscene language at G.Kh., also demanding that he leave.

Not wanting to argue with A.N. and G.N., G.Kh. stopped campaigning  and returned to the area where the campaign posters were being  posted.

A.N. and G.N. then drove in their cars to the meeting between the  Republic Party representatives and residents. G.N., after exiting the  car, spoke with people waiting to meet with the Republic Party  candidate, after which the individuals left.

On November 2, 2025, the prosecutor opened a criminal case against  A.N. and G.N. under Article 211, Part 2, Clause 5 of the Russian  Criminal Code (obstructing a group of persons from carrying out  propaganda activities). G.N. and A.N. were remanded in custody," the  statement reads.

On the evening of November 2, lawyer Ara Zohrabyan reported that the  Nersisyans, father and son, had been detained on charges of  hooliganism and obstructing election campaigning. Meanwhile, video  footage from the scene shows that no hooliganism, much less  obstruction of campaigning, took place.
